MORRIS – Jason Helland, Grundy County State’s Attorney, has announced that on Oct. 16 the grand jury returned the following indictments. The public is advised that a charge is merely an accusation and that a defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

Pellegrini was arrested by Morris police and taken to the Grundy County Jail on Sept. 28 on a charge of criminal sexual assault. The arrest followed an investigation of a female screaming in the 1200 block of Brendan Drive.

The indictment states Pellegrini allegedly committed the offense against a family member and caused her physical harm.

Pellegrini is out on $25,000 bond, 10 percent of the $250,000 set by the court. He is to have no contact with the alleged victim, his marital residence or children.

A class X felony is punishable with six to 30 years in prison. Helland said if convicted he would have to serve 85 percent of his sentence.
